Núria Poch, director of the Mataró Contemporary Art Museum Consortium, has chosen precisely this aspect of the work of Guinovart in our collection, for the relation that has the matter of some of the paintings with Guinovart and the years he was in Agramunt. They are very special pieces that we try to move little due to their fragility, but this time is completely justified.
